As Canada faces an unprecedented wildfire season, Calgary's Wilder Institute is looking for ways to preserve at-risk species which could become locally extinct if wildfires reach their habitat.
, Calgary’s Wilder Institute is looking for ways to preserve at-risk species which could become locally extinct if wildfires reach their habitat.
During this fire season, they are focusing on two species, the whooping crane—a species of bird in Alberta—and the wood-poppy, a flower in Ontario. For birds in particular, smoke has a long-term impact on their lungs, affecting their communication, their ability to find mates and hold territory. Additionally, wildfires can make it difficult for the birds to find an appropriate nesting ground if their current habitat is destroyed.
